We loved this location! Close to the beach and restaurants! We enjoyed the pool, restaurant, and ocean!

Great location on La Madera Beach and easy access to the centre. The pool was wonderful overlooking the beach. Many restaurants in the area. Units had a full kitchen. Internet was excellent. It was a wonderful place but does have many steps.

Nice ocean view from our suite, employees very nice to deal with.

We had a great stay at Arena Suites (Oct '23). We had the "Family Master" suite which had 2 bedrooms, a living room, a well-equipped kitchen / dining area and a beautiful porch overlooking the beach and the bay. The room was cleaned very well every morning by Elizabeth (fresh linens/towels and dishes were washed). The restaurant was super convenient and the food never disappointed. Our server was always Armando - super friendly and great English skills. The hotel sits on a hill, so there are quite a few steps to get from the street entrance down to the beach, and elevators are not available. Wasn't an issue for us, but could well be for others. There's a convenience store across the street that is open from 9a - 6p or so that had any last-minute snacks, medicine, groceries you might need, but the prices reflect the convenience (sunscreen was about 3x what you'd pay at a nearby pharmacy). The hotel sits on a very nice sandy beach (very few rocks) with good waves for body surfing, and only a hundred yards or so down the beach is the paved walkway that leads to the downtown area. You can walk from the hotel to the downtown restaurants in 10 minutes or so. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd highly recommend this hotel!

I had to get another hotel and they didn’t give me my money back. The room smelled very bad.

We enjoyed our eight night stay at Arena Suites. The location is perfect - directly above Madera Beach. Our room was comfortable and the outdoor kitchen/living area was great fun. The kitchen was well equipped and all appliances worked. Water was hot and plentiful - always nice to have. Each day we used the loungers on the beach and indulged in drinks and snacks from the bar/restaurant.

Great place to chill. People and restaurant attached are excellent.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The AC unit had failed so we were moved to another room while it was worked on, free of charge. The restaurant and location are great!

Great location. At the top of a hill with an amazing view of a beautiful bay. There was a lovely infinity pool with plenty of seating options or you could swim in Madera Bay. The onsite restaurant served above average food. The service was great and everyone very friendly, always wanting to help.

Clean, comfortable and good location. Easy walk to el centro and the malecon. Only downside was it could be noisy at times (this is a busy area). We would stay again for the convenience of the location.

We stayed in the junior suite with jetted tub. The drawback is it was right above the pool, which can get noisy with kids during the day. The view is amazing. The kitchen is outdoors , well equipped. There are alot of stairs to get to your room, but the staff will help with your luggage. The restaurant , Madera serves excellent food and good drinks on the beach. We had great service with our waiter,Armando. You can get a massage on the beach right next door for $25 for 90 min. If you just want to relax and enjoy the beach, you would like it here. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return.

I loved the restaurant and food. The service was great. Had one mishap with other guests who were drunk, loud and boisterous and inconsiderate of other guests staying at the hotel.

The suites are steps from a beautiful warm ocean beach. Lovely staff and clean. Somewhat expensive in comparison with other places around but for us well worth it to be so close to the beach.

Some rooms have a shared balcony overlooking the beach. Room 4 is very bright all night with the hallway light that shines through high windows that have no way to cover them. Location is right on the beach and is quiet at night (no booming nightclubs close by). Rooms are very average but meet the needs. The staff was good and friendly. Not 5 star but OK for a hotel right on the beach.
